NaturalSoundXFAAstronauts Jim Voss and Susan Helms have spent the early hours of Sunday rerouting docking port cables on space station Alpha - set to be their new home for the next four months.
Voss and Helms were delivered by space shuttle Discovery as part of Alpha's first replacement crew.
After Voss and Helms disconnected cables holding the docking port in place, astronaut Andrew Thomas used the shuttle's robotic arm to grab the docking port.
He was to move it a short way to another part of the station to make room for the Leonardo cargo carrier that was ferried up aboard Discovery.
Leonardo was to be temporarily attached to Alpha late on Sunday.
Voss and Helms waited in the shuttle's airlock to see if Thomas needed their help.
The spacewalkers had to deal with a few minor glitches during their walk, which began shortly after midnight Saturday and was scheduled to last about 7 and a half hours.
During its start, a plastic bag holding a hydrazine-detection kit drifted away from the shuttle, but Voss used Discovery's robot arm to reach it.
The small problems put them about an hour behind schedule.
To make up the time, flight controllers decided the spacewalkers would not make connections to a long tray of cables they installed on the underside of the Destiny science lab.
The cables, which will provide power, data and video links between the station's robotic arm and Destiny, will be connected during the mission's second spacewalk, set to start late Monday.
The station's robotic arm is to be delivered in April.
The mission's main objective is to deliver Alpha's first replacement crew, made up of Voss, Helms and Russian cosmonaut Yuri Usachev.
They will relieve the current three-member crew of commander Bill Shepherd and two Russian cosmonauts, who have been aboard since Nov. 2.
Usachev has already moved into Alpha.
Voss and Helms will join him over the next several days.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STS-64
STS-64 was a Space Shuttle Discovery mission to perform multiple experiment packages. It was launched from Kennedy Space Center, Florida, on 9 September 1994.
STS-64 marked the first flight of Lidar In-space TechnologyExperiment (LITE) and first untethered U.S. extravehicular activity (EVA) in 10 years. LITE payload employs lidar, which stands for light detection and ranging, a type of optical radar using laser pulses instead of radio waves to study Earth's atmosphere...
Mission Specialists Lee and Meade completed the 28th EVA of the Space Shuttle program on 16 Sept. During the six-hour, 15- minute EVA, they tested a new backpack called Simplified Aid for EVA Rescue (SAFER), designed for use in event crew member becomes untethered while conducting an EVA. Operations with SAFER marked the first untethered EVA since STS 51-A in 1984, and also last such EVA of the program.SAFER went on to become a mainstay of US and joint spacewalks during the assembly of the International Space Station and beyond.
On fifth day of the mission, The Shuttle Pointed Autonomous ResearchTool for Astronomy-201 (SPARTAN-201) free flyer was released using the Remote Manipulator System arm. Making its second flight on the Shuttle, SPARTAN-201 was designed to collect data about the acceleration and velocity of the solar wind and to measure aspects of sun's corona. Data was recorded for playback after return to Earth. SPARTAN-201 was retrieved after two days of data collection.
Other cargo bay payloads: Shuttle Plume Impingement Flight Experiment (SPIFEX), a 33-foot (10-meter) long instrumented extension for Shuttle robot arm. SPIFEX designed to collect data about orbiter Reaction Control System (RCS) thrusters to aid understanding about potential effects of thruster plumes on large space structures, such as Mir space station or planned international space station. Robot Operated Processing System (ROMPS) was first U.S. robotics system operated in space, mounted in two Get Away Special (GAS) canisters attached to cargo bay wall. A GAS bridge assembly in cargo bay carried 12 cans, 10 holding self-contained experiments.
Middeck experiments included: Biological Research in Canister (BRIC) experiment to investigate effects of spaceflight on plant specimens; MilitaryApplication of ShipTracks (MAST) to take high-resolution imagery of ship tracks and to analyze wake formation and dissipations; SolidSurface Combustion Experiment (SSCE) to supply information on flame propagation over fuels in space; Radiation Monitoring EquipmentIII (RME III) to measure ionizing radiation; Shuttle Amateur Radio Experiment II (SAREX II) to demonstrate feasibility of short-wave radio contacts between orbiter and ground-based amateur radio operators; and Air Force Maui Optical Station (AMOS) test, which required no onboard hardware.
STS-63 was the first mission to see the use of the new full-pressure Advanced Crew Escape Suit, which eventually replaced the partial-pressure Launch Entry Suit.

Nine days into their flight, the crew of the U-S Space Shuttle Columbia have continued to act as human guinea pigs.
Researchers on the ground have been monitoring the crew's movements during experiments to gauge the effects of weightlessness on their bodies.
NASA wants to understand these changes before it starts building and staffing the international space station in a few years.
Around one hundred and forty miles above Earth, the crew of the U-S Space Shuttle Columbia have spent their 9th day in space.
Experiments have continued, with many of the physical tests the astronauts are performing on themselves designed to find out how the body reacts to zero gravity.
NASA is expected to decide Saturday whether to add a 17th day to
Columbia's medical-research mission, which would make it the longest flight in space shuttle history.
So far, life in orbit is proving to be pleasant experience.
SOUNDBITE:
"Welcome aboard the Columbia, we're about 145 miles above the earth, we just crossed over the United Sates and we're over the Atlantic now.
Q: Well you do that every 90 minutes or so, what's it like circling the earth that high and that often over a period of 16 days?
A: Well, it's been fantastic so far, the first passes we see in the morning are these gorgeous panoramic views of the Mediterranean area. We have two specialists that trained with us and they're from Spain and Italy so we see their home countries every morning just after we arise. (Too bad they can't pass up some food as you go over I'll bet).
SUPERCAPTION: Astronaut
The living conditions may be squashed, but morale remains high, with the astronauts determined to secure the new space shuttle record.
SOUNDBITE:
Q: What is it like to live in the Shuttle?
A: The best comparison I can make is like a camping trip when you are well-prepared. We basically have a fixed amount of volume inside the space shuttle and inside here we've got living quarters, working quarters, habitability quarters and it's home for at least two weeks or hopefully longer on this flight.
SUPER CAPTION: Susan Helms, Astronaut
It's the 20th flight of Columbia, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's oldest shuttle.
UPSOUND:
So long from the Space Shuttle Colombia. Talk to you tomorrow
With each passing day, that space shuttle record keeps inching closer.

Helms, Susan Filmography

Famous quotes by Susan Helms:

"We are in real good shape to support putting off robotics until tomorrow. We could see that was coming."

"We have a lot of reason to hope that these were transient problems and we can proceed normally."

"Mom, I just couldn't think of a better way to spend your birthday. Sorry I'm not with you, though."

"They brought up some special food items like pork chops and chocolate that we definitely appreciated."

"We've got a lot of excited people up here."

"We came back just over a week ago and we're adjusting very well. It's been a very surprising experience to have returned to Earth and have such quick adjustment."

"I've been back there a lot in the last couple of days and I honestly have not noticed a problem. Yuri and I have been busy working hard and we never stopped and even noticed that our environment was in any way disturbing us."

"Obviously I have a vested interest in what's going on up here, and I can't be happier than how things have gone. The repair work has been very smooth and very quick and we are ready to come back."

Susan Helms, Colorado Women's Hall of Fame Class of 2018

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STS-64
STS-64 was a Space Shuttle Discovery mission to perform multiple experiment packages. It was launched from Kennedy Space Center, Florida, on 9 September 1994.
STS-64 marked the first flight of Lidar In-space TechnologyExperiment (LITE) and first untethered U.S. extravehicular activity (EVA) in 10 years. LITE payload employs lidar, which stands for light detection and ranging, a type of optical radar using laser pulses instead of radio waves to study Earth's atmosphere...
Mission Specialists Lee and Meade completed the 28th EVA of the Space Shuttle program on 16 Sept. During the six-hour, 15- minute EVA, they tested a new backpack called Simplified Aid for EVA Rescue (SAFER), designed for use in event crew member becomes untethered while conducting an EVA. Operations with SAFER marked the first untethered EVA since STS 51-A in 1984, and also last such EVA of the program.SAFER went on to become a mainstay of US and joint spacewalks during the assembly of the International Space Station and beyond.
On fifth day of the mission, The Shuttle Pointed Autonomous ResearchTool for Astronomy-201 (SPARTAN-201) free flyer was released using the Remote Manipulator System arm. Making its second flight on the Shuttle, SPARTAN-201 was designed to collect data about the acceleration and velocity of the solar wind and to measure aspects of sun's corona. Data was recorded for playback after return to Earth. SPARTAN-201 was retrieved after two days of data collection.
Other cargo bay payloads: Shuttle Plume Impingement Flight Experiment (SPIFEX), a 33-foot (10-meter) long instrumented extension for Shuttle robot arm. SPIFEX designed to collect data about orbiter Reaction Control System (RCS) thrusters to aid understanding about potential effects of thruster plumes on large space structures, such as Mir space station or planned international space station. Robot Operated Processing System (ROMPS) was first U.S. robotics system operated in space, mounted in two Get Away Special (GAS) canisters attached to cargo bay wall. A GAS bridge assembly in cargo bay carried 12 cans, 10 holding self-contained experiments.
Middeck experiments included: Biological Research in Canister (BRIC) experiment to investigate effects of spaceflight on plant specimens; MilitaryApplication of ShipTracks (MAST) to take high-resolution imagery of ship tracks and to analyze wake formation and dissipations; SolidSurface Combustion Experiment (SSCE) to supply information on flame propagation over fuels in space; Radiation Monitoring EquipmentIII (RME III) to measure ionizing radiation; Shuttle Amateur Radio Experiment II (SAREX II) to demonstrate feasibility of short-wave radio contacts between orbiter and ground-based amateur radio operators; and Air Force Maui Optical Station (AMOS) test, which required no onboard hardware.
STS-63 was the first mission to see the use of the new full-pressure Advanced Crew Escape Suit, which eventually replaced the partial-pressure Launch Entry Suit.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simplified_Aid_for_EVA_Rescue
Simplified Aid for EVA Rescue (SAFER) is a small, self-contained, propulsive backpack system (jet pack) used to provide free-flying mobility for a Space Shuttle or International Space Station (ISS) crewmember during extra-vehicular activity (EVA). SAFER is a small, simplified version of the Manned Maneuvering Unit (MMU) intended for contingency use during spacewalks...

Nine days into their flight, the crew of the U-S Space Shuttle Columbia have continued to act as human guinea pigs.
Researchers on the ground have been monitoring the crew's movements during experiments to gauge the effects of weightlessness on their bodies.
NASA wants to understand these changes before it starts building and staffing the international space station in a few years.
Around one hundred and forty miles above Earth, the crew of the U-S Space Shuttle Columbia have spent their 9th day in space.
Experiments have continued, with many of the physical tests the astronauts are performing on themselves designed to find out how the body reacts to zero gravity.
NASA is expected to decide Saturday whether to add a 17th day to
Columbia's medical-research mission, which would make it the longest flight in space shuttle history.
So far, life in orbit is proving to be pleasant experience.
SOUNDBITE:
"Welcome aboard the Columbia, we're about 145 miles above the earth, we just crossed over the United Sates and we're over the Atlantic now.
Q: Well you do that every 90 minutes or so, what's it like circling the earth that high and that often over a period of 16 days?
A: Well, it's been fantastic so far, the first passes we see in the morning are these gorgeous panoramic views of the Mediterranean area. We have two specialists that trained with us and they're from Spain and Italy so we see their home countries every morning just after we arise. (Too bad they can't pass up some food as you go over I'll bet).
SUPERCAPTION: Astronaut
The living conditions may be squashed, but morale remains high, with the astronauts determined to secure the new space shuttle record.
SOUNDBITE:
Q: What is it like to live in the Shuttle?
A: The best comparison I can make is like a camping trip when you are well-prepared. We basically have a fixed amount of volume inside the space shuttle and inside here we've got living quarters, working quarters, habitability quarters and it's home for at least two weeks or hopefully longer on this flight.
SUPER CAPTION: Susan Helms, Astronaut
It's the 20th flight of Columbia, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's oldest shuttle.
UPSOUND:
So long from the Space Shuttle Colombia. Talk to you tomorrow
With each passing day, that space shuttle record keeps inching closer.

JEFF, WHO LIVES AT HOME (in HD) Jason Segel & Ed Helms interviews

Legacy Video Harold Winona Helms

Encouraging and supporting one another is a valuable part of our Christian walk. Harold and his wife Winona Helms work tirelessly on behalf of their flocks, and it is imperative that we speak and pray blessings over them. Numbers 6:24-26 “The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.” These verses in Numbers are part of an Aaronic blessing that Moses’ brother, Aaron, spoke over the Israelites, and it is very appropriate for Harold and his wife Winona Helms as well. They are priests, and they deserve to be blessed by the Lord and to receive his peace.

NaturalSoundXFAAstronauts Jim Voss and Susan Helms have spent the early hours of Sunday rerouting docking port cables on space station Alpha - set to be their new home for the next four months.
Voss and Helms were delivered by space shuttle Discovery as part of Alpha's first replacement crew.
After Voss and Helms disconnected cables holding the docking port in place, astronaut Andrew Thomas used the shuttle's robotic arm to grab the docking port.
He was to move it a short way to another part of the station to make room for the Leonardo cargo carrier that was ferried up aboard Discovery.
Leonardo was to be temporarily attached to Alpha late on Sunday.

Leading Military Women: Commanders and Trailblazers (2014 AVC Conference)

NaturalSoundXFAAstronauts Jim Voss and Susan Helms have spent the early hours of Sunday rerouting docking port cables on space station Alpha - set to be their new home for the next four months.
Voss and Helms were delivered by space shuttle Discovery as part of Alpha's first replacement crew.
After Voss and Helms disconnected cables holding the docking port in place, astronaut Andrew Thomas used the shuttle's robotic arm to grab the docking port.
He was to move it a short way to another part of the station to make room for the Leonardo cargo carrier that was ferried up aboard Discovery.
Leonardo was to be temporarily attached to Alpha late on Sunday.
Voss and Helms waited in the shuttle's airlock to see if Thomas needed their help.
The spacewalkers had to deal with a few minor glitches during their walk, which began shortly after midnight Saturday and was scheduled to last about 7 and a half hours.
During its start, a plastic bag holding a hydrazine-detection kit drifted away from the shuttle, but Voss used Discovery's robot arm to reach it.
The small problems put them about an hour behind schedule.
To make up the time, flight controllers decided the spacewalkers would not make connections to a long tray of cables they installed on the underside of the Destiny science lab.
The cables, which will provide power, data and video links between the station's robotic arm and Destiny, will be connected during the mission's second spacewalk, set to start late Monday.
The station's robotic arm is to be delivered in April.
The mission's main objective is to deliver Alpha's first replacement crew, made up of Voss, Helms and Russian cosmonaut Yuri Usachev.
They will relieve the current three-member crew of commander Bill Shepherd and two Russian cosmonauts, who have been aboard since Nov. 2.
Usachev has already moved into Alpha.
Voss and Helms will join him over the next several days.

Public Report- EMPLOYMENT w/Susan Ahrens by Jody Ellen

PublicReport is a local show in Washington State about local issues going on in the community. It airs on KTBW, usually channel 20, at 10:00am Friday mornings, then again that evening at 12:00am. It also airs several times throughout the week. This week the show is about employment, how to get a resume together, the interviewing process, and how to land that job. SusanAhrens is the Regional Manager for Adams and Associates, a staffing company.

Toys in Space, 2

In this educational video from the 'Liftoff to Learning' series, astronauts from the STS-54Mission (Mario Runco, John Casper, Don McMonagle, Susan Helms, and Greg Harbaugh) explain how microgravity and weightlessness in space affects motion by using both mechanical and nonmechanical toys (gravitrons, slinkys, dart boards, magnetic marbles, and others). The gravitational effects on rotation, force, acceleration, magnetism, magnetic fields, center of axis, and velocity are actively demonstrated using these toys through experiments onboard the STS-54 Mission flight as a part of their spaceborne experiment payload. [ResourceGuide referenced in the video is not available.] Released Jun 1993.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STS-64
STS-64 was a Space Shuttle Discovery mission to perform multiple experiment packages. It was launched from Kennedy Space Center, Florida, on 9 September 1994.
STS-64 marked the first flight of Lidar In-space TechnologyExperiment (LITE) and first untethered U.S. extravehicular activity (EVA) in 10 years. LITE payload employs lidar, which stands for light detection and ranging, a type of optical radar using laser pulses instead of radio waves to study Earth's atmosphere...
Mission Specialists Lee and Meade completed the 28th EVA of the Space Shuttle program on 16 Sept. During the six-hour, 15- minute EVA, they tested a new backpack called Simplified Aid for EVA Rescue (SAFER), designed for use in event crew member becomes untethered while conducting an EVA. Operations with SAFER marked the first untethered EVA since STS 51-A in 1984, and also last such EVA of the program.SAFER went on to become a mainstay of US and joint spacewalks during the assembly of the International Space Station and beyond.
On fifth day of the mission, The Shuttle Pointed Autonomous ResearchTool for Astronomy-201 (SPARTAN-201) free flyer was released using the Remote Manipulator System arm. Making its second flight on the Shuttle, SPARTAN-201 was designed to collect data about the acceleration and velocity of the solar wind and to measure aspects of sun's corona. Data was recorded for playback after return to Earth. SPARTAN-201 was retrieved after two days of data collection.
Other cargo bay payloads: Shuttle Plume Impingement Flight Experiment (SPIFEX), a 33-foot (10-meter) long instrumented extension for Shuttle robot arm. SPIFEX designed to collect data about orbiter Reaction Control System (RCS) thrusters to aid understanding about potential effects of thruster plumes on large space structures, such as Mir space station or planned international space station. Robot Operated Processing System (ROMPS) was first U.S. robotics system operated in space, mounted in two Get Away Special (GAS) canisters attached to cargo bay wall. A GAS bridge assembly in cargo bay carried 12 cans, 10 holding self-contained experiments.
Middeck experiments included: Biological Research in Canister (BRIC) experiment to investigate effects of spaceflight on plant specimens; MilitaryApplication of ShipTracks (MAST) to take high-resolution imagery of ship tracks and to analyze wake formation and dissipations; SolidSurface Combustion Experiment (SSCE) to supply information on flame propagation over fuels in space; Radiation Monitoring EquipmentIII (RME III) to measure ionizing radiation; Shuttle Amateur Radio Experiment II (SAREX II) to demonstrate feasibility of short-wave radio contacts between orbiter and ground-based amateur radio operators; and Air Force Maui Optical Station (AMOS) test, which required no onboard hardware.
STS-63 was the first mission to see the use of the new full-pressure Advanced Crew Escape Suit, which eventually replaced the partial-pressure Launch Entry Suit.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extravehicular_activity
Extravehicular activity (EVA) is any activity done by an astronaut or cosmonaut outside a spacecraft beyond the Earth's appreciable atmosphere. The term most commonly applies to a spacewalk made outside a craft orbiting Earth (such as the International Space Station), but also has applied to lunar surface exploration (commonly known as moonwalks) performed by six pairs of American astronauts in the Apollo program from 1969 to 1972. On each of the last three of these missions, astronauts also performed deep-space EVAs on the return to Earth, to retrieve film canisters from the outside of the spacecraft. Astronauts also used EVA in 1973 to repair launch damage to Skylab, the United States' first space station.
A "Stand-up" EVA (SEVA) is where the astronaut does not fully leave a spacecraft, but is completely reliant on the spacesuit for environmental support.[1] Its name derives from the astronaut "standing up" in the open hatch, usually to film or assist a spacewalking astronaut.
EVAs may be either tethered (the astronaut is connected to the spacecraft; oxygen and electrical power can be supplied through an umbilical cable; no propulsion is needed to return to the spacecraft), or untethered. Untethered spacewalks were only performed on three missions in 1984 using the Manned Maneuvering Unit (MMU), and on a flight test in 1994 of the Simplified Aid for EVA Rescue (SAFER). A SAFER is a safety device worn on tethered U.S. EVAs, since the capability of returning to the spacecraft is essential.
Russia, the United States and China have demonstrated the capability to conduct an EVA...Capability milestones
- The first untethered spacewalk was made by American Bruce McCandless II on February 7, 1984, during Challenger mission STS-41-B, using the Manned Maneuvering Unit. He was subsequently joined by Robert L. Stewart during the 5 hour 55 minute spacewalk. A self-contained spacewalk was first attempted by Eugene Cernan in 1966 on Gemini 9A, but Cernan could not reach the maneuvering unit without tiring.
- The first metalwork in open space, consisting of welding, brazing and metal spraying, was conducted by Soviet cosmonautsSvetlana Savitskaya and Vladimir Dzhanibekov on July 25, 1984. A specially designed URI multipurpose tool was used to perform these activities during a 3 hour, 30 minute EVA outside the Salyut 7 space station.
- The first three-person EVA was performed on May 13, 1992, as the third EVA of STS-49, the maiden flight of Endeavour. Pierre Thuot, Richard Hieb, and Thomas Akers conducted the EVA to hand-capture and repair a non-functional Intelsat VI-F3 satellite. As of2013 it was the only three-person EVA.
- The first EVA to perform an in-flight repair of the Space Shuttle was by American Steve Robinson on August 3, 2005, during "Return to Flight" mission STS-114. Robinson was sent to remove two protruding gap fillers from Discovery's heat shield, after engineers determined there was a small chance they could affect the shuttle upon re-entry. Robinson successfully removed the loose material while Discovery was docked to the International Space Station.
- The longest EVA as of 2007, was 8 hours and 56 minutes, performed by Susan J. Helms and James S. Voss on March 11, 2001...

In this educational video from the 'Liftoff to Learning' series, astronauts from the STS-54Mission (Mario Runco, John Casper, Don McMonagle, Susan Helms, and Greg Harbaugh) explain how microgravity and weightlessness in space affects motion by using both mechanical and nonmechanical toys (gravitrons, slinkys, dart boards, magnetic marbles, and others). The gravitational effects on rotation, force, acceleration, magnetism, magnetic fields, center of axis, and velocity are actively demonstrated using these toys through experiments onboard the STS-54 Mission flight as a part of their spaceborne experiment payload. [ResourceGuide referenced in the video is not available.] Released Jun 1993.
